Monserrat Monastery tour

Great days tour. Amazing views from the top and a beautiful Basílica to look around. Wear comfy shoes if you want to walk up to the viewing point- a bit uneven and steep in places. Guide was informative and friendly. Would have helped to know that the meet point was inside a busy bus station. Google Maps found it difficult to Locate.

From Malaga Caminito del Rey Guided Tour with transportation

Kathryn_W, Apr 2026

Great day

Great day out. We were unfortunately delayed due to an accident on the road to caminito so missed the village visit but that didn’t matter , we really enjoyed the walk. On a hot day it would have been really tough though the weather was overcast for us which was perfect!

From Malaga, Gibraltar excursion with transport

Ashish_D, Apr 2026

Super trip

Martina is an amazing guide. She was shepherding a big group of 50 odd travellers. Very patient. We were not informed that Cabke Car is not operational. We took a taxi which was arranged by Martina. But it was a bit chaotic and the cab driver Ryan was stressed. But the experience of visiting the rock and all other monuments was truly unbelievable

Catherine_A, Apr 2026

Great day out

Great day out, very well organized, driving in quality van with knowledgeable guide Luis. The day was well paced with interesting stops, time to eat, sightseeing and learning. Tarragona was beautiful and a nice change from Barcelona. The aqueduct is fascinating and the amphitheater was awesome. Sitges by the sea was great to wander around and explore. It has a quaint atmosphere with a mix of beaches and old town houses and shopping.

Wonderful day

Absolutely wonderful day with Sasha who took us to see the vines and tremendous views and then to the winery for tasting wine paired with tapas and lively conversation. Only 5 stars because there was not an option to give 10. Also, we had some scheduling difficulties and Lisa went above and beyond to help straighten it all out. Thank you so much. We had beautiful weather and beautiful views ! Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Guide Gaspar

Excellent tour guide and experience! Gaspar was punctual and very VERY knowledgeable. He truly gave us a full day! Even while driving, he spent the time informing us of Spanish culture, customs and history. Loved that he had information on different buildings and sites, not just the main touristy places. He is very experienced with us tourists as he picked meeting places to rendezvous that were very obvious, less crowded and where we would not get lost or confused! Loved the entire day, but perhaps one of the most fun parts, was grabbing sandwiches in a place he took us to. He told us how to order, pay and complete the process and it was SO FUN! We left feeling like locals! Great day and I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide, Gaspar.

Barcelona to Montserrat Monastery: Tour, Transfers & Basilica

JoAnn_N, Mar 2026

Montserrat, Monastery, and Marc = Marvelous

If you want a terrific tour of the breath-taking Montserrat, look no further. Marc was an outstanding guide— wonderfully knowledgeable, clear and friendly. He explained many options to do during our free time at the monastery. We loved taking the funicular to the top. Glad we thought to take a time-lapse video of the ride — that will be a treasure. Make sure to stop by the white-tented market to sample the many cheeses, as well as the fig bread. We wished we had reserved a ticket for the boys’ choir— but they had sold out. In summary, A+ grade for the whole outing. Thank you, Marc!

Toledo Tour from Madrid: Cathedral, Synagogue & St. Tome's Church

Maryellen_D, Mar 2026

Excellent full day trip

This was a wonderful tour. I had been to Toledo some 30 years ago with fond memories. My husband had never been there. We chose this trip operated by fun and tickets. One advantage is the departure point was just one block away from our hotel indigo on Gran Via. Signing up for the trip and receiving our tickets through VIATOR worked very well. I had read reviews of the trip and had good anticipations. Upon arriving at departure point I learned our guide would be Beatrice who had been mentioned in several reviews as an excellent guide. And so she was. Yes this trip is operated in both Spanish and English. That was expected and did not bother us. Beatrice speaks very well and her English is easy to understand. She took us on our fitness walk across to Ledo with many interesting stops and explained so much to us. We did have a 30 minute break shortly after arriving in TOLEDO which enabled us to get some coffee and visit a restroom. We also had two hours free time after our couple of hours of guided touring and that worked out well. The transportation was smooth too. We highly recommend this tour to all

Barcelona and Monsterrat

This was an amazing tour. It takes you out of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Barcelona and shows you more of the actual country. Hugo was extremely knowledgeable and a 100% Catalan. We had a bad storm roll in and he worked around it to make the best of it, despite the storm. He showed and told us things about Barcelona that were very interesting. Monsterrat is a must see. Família Sagrada is also a must do.

We Beat the Rain and Had an Awesome Time

Noelle, our guide, and Antonio, our bus driver, were great! But all that was easily beaten by the destinations and amazing views (and multitude of photos) that were included in the tour. And yes, they so leave the best for last. Life is good ... God is gooder ;-).
